August 27th, Wednesday - Lovely simple DL

 27.08.2025

Today'll be a good one. I'm not stopping!

Workout

Deadlift

20 - 70

160 for 4

200 for 4 and a half - tiny PR 😁 I did three reps, one lame half rep and one kinda bad full rep

240 for 4 - two mixed grip, two with straps. Still warming up!

240 for 4 much better, quick and easy. Eventually I will learn to do it always!..

240 for 4 - same, with added difficulty: I did the reverse mixed grip on first three reps until I let go of it and it hurt too much, then straps. It's so easy!

240 for 4 - one mixed, three in straps. I love it. But I miss the OHP so much! 😢 I wanna press! I do want big bench too though... But that's a goal, not a desire! I will press! On the next session.

270 for 1 nice, easy, mixed grip

270 for 1 better

270 for 1 not as easy as the previous ones... I think I might have taken a slightly too narrow grip. It shot off the floor and was kinda slow then. Going back to normal on the next...

270 for 1 way better. I wouldn't say it flew up cause I grabbed it kinda unbalanced 😁 But it was powerful!

Stiff legged deadlifts, wide grip

180 - 3 sets of 5 - most reps were touch and go, but on the last one I took a super wide grip and didn't do that. I think MOST of the benefit here comes from actually HOLDING the barbell in the bottom position! Liver was hurting 😁 But I found myself enjoying it after writing my characters into this sensation so many times 😂

Mule deer, Odocoileus hemionus, are among the most readily seen mammals on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. In this photo, a doe and her fawn are browsing on a young juniper tree. Surefooted and nimble, mule deer travel in and out of the canyon with ease as food and water dictate. The earliest trails into the canyon were likely built along deer paths. Mule deer are readily distinguished by their large ears. NPS video by Michael Quinn.

October 08-09, Sunday and Monday - Bench, PP, small PR, nice Olympic style Squat

 08.10.2023 Great day, feeling great. Woke up earlier than normal, worked more that usual. Feeling extra energy. The night was cold. I kept seeing dreams about (spoiler) The Emperor from BG3, hehehe 😉 Cause I watched one of his cutscenes, even though I ain't been playing yesterday. Yesterday, I was drained. I was drained on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at night, to a varying degree. Today I feel much more fresh than I have been in a long time. Like, a part of my brain is extra creative. Also, I have been eating rather little - a couple eggs swallowed hastily, a few bananas, a few glasses of milk. Two mokas and one small conventional brew. I'm thinking of doing bench today, and PP + Squat tomorrow. Reasonable? Yes, on the surface it is reasonable. Light-medium-light bench, sets of 5, around 120. 4 sets of 5, maximum velocity, no pauses whatsoever. When you've got the same muscle strength composition as me it sort of feels easier to bench with a pause, and bumpi...

 10.04.2023 Nice day. Not too bad. Sleep - 4/10, nutrition - 6/10. Ran out of coffee, used some of the robusta from the stash. Now having one, fighting the desire to lie down, cause if I lie down I'm just not gonna be able to sleep. Jammed. I figured back in the day I made a lot of these micro-songs that are guitar and bass and midi drums. So, that's one of the things that fuels creativity. You have to save them and listen to them. Then you get something. My old headphones are buzzing a lot. Might be time to buy new ones soon. *** Today's workout is 4 sets of 5 with 77,5 percent. A sixth session in the program which I've been using in defferent variations for everything. So, 77,5% of 150 would be 116. But I'm not perfectly sure if I can do that well in my current shape. So, I might want to get up to 115 starting from a lighter weight. Maybe from 110. Now that I think about it, it's actually quite doable and it's very late. I don't want to hurry. And I do...

September 14th - Engaging in a variety of hobbies at once, nonchalant grip PR

 14.09.2022 DL plan - 175 for 5, 200 for 5, 210 - 5*5, 200*1 clean single, maybe even overhand. Nice day. Slept very little. Ate a lot before I went to bed, so I had no appetite when I woke up. Tried to call and message some of my clients. Coordination issues. Sometimes people just can't pick a proper time. Understandable. I often think about how humanity evolved to proritise quick decisions over slow, but 100% sure ones. Better be two times faster and 80% sure than two times slower and 99% sure, amirite? He he. Having my second coffee. Or third? Not sure. Can't remember. Today I'm trying to overstuff the moka pot. The taste is awesome, but the brewing process feels dubious. Played guitar a bit. Practicing licks, playing quickly, playing up the neck. I don't gotta play, I gotta write and record lyrics and vocals. I already made a somewhat decent verse. And I have a rough idea for the chorus. I can't believe how much slower my process has become. What is it? Playing ...
